Home care fund for Cláudia in Juiz de Fora
Cláudia, 96, needs daily care to stay at home, and the family is raising $1,800 for a carer and medicines.

I'm caring for my mother, who's 96. After a heart attack Cláudia can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Cláudia desperately wants to stay at home.
I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after her, but we need a part-time carer.
Cláudia worked all of her life as a farmer, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back.
Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for eight months will make a huge difference.
Funds cover the carer's wages, medicines, a hospital bed rental and incontinence supplies.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• Part-time carer (eight months): $1,500
• Hospital bed and mattress rental: $120
• Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $180
I hope life is good to you.

sending love, Gustavo. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Campinas so I could bring a meal. Love from Thiruvananthapuram.
Sending good thoughts, Gustavo. Get well soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Tijuana
thinking of you, Gustavo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
wishing you the best. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Guadalupe but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Hang in there, Gustavo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 27 people at work. Take care.
hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. God bless
Hope things get better soon. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Juiz de Fora!
rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Minneapolis but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you, Gustavo. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
